Thermo Group — Solar Experts You Can Trust
Affordable solar installations for homes and businesses in Camps Bay — quality workmanship, transparent pricing, no premium mark-up.
At Thermo Group, we install solar PV, battery and hybrid systems throughout Camps Bay — homes built into the slopes below the Twelve Apostles, where dramatic views come with strong downslope wind gusts, direct Atlantic salt air and steep, cliffside access. We design every Camps Bay system around those conditions from the first site visit, not as an afterthought.
Our experienced team handles the complete solar installation process in Camps Bay — from surveying the property’s actual sun hours and shading, through design, installation, testing, compliance and registration.
Whether you’re looking for a solar PV system, battery backup, hybrid inverter or a complete energy solution, we design around your property’s electricity usage, roof and the mountain’s downslope wind and Atlantic salt air. We carry out both residential and commercial solar installations, and our technicians are experienced in installing and maintaining these systems for the long term.

What We Design Around In Camps Bay
Mountain Downslope Wind Loading
Strong gusts funnel off the Twelve Apostles onto Camps Bay’s slopes. We size and fix racking for that load, not a standard coastal wind rating.
Direct Atlantic Salt Air
Beachfront apartments and homes higher up the slope both face direct Atlantic exposure. We specify marine-grade hardware throughout.
Steep-Access & Architectural Complexity
Cliffside properties and architecturally ambitious homes make access itself part of the job. We plan larger, more complex systems accordingly.
Why A Camps Bay Solar Installation Isn’t A Generic Cape Town Job
Camps Bay’s homes are built into the slopes below the Twelve Apostles, which means dramatic views but also some of the toughest physical conditions for a solar installation anywhere in Cape Town — strong downslope wind gusts off the mountain, direct Atlantic salt air, and steep, cliffside properties that make access itself part of the job. We don’t quote a Camps Bay installation off a standard template — our site visit accounts for wind loading and access before we design the system.
Engineering For Twelve Apostles Downslope Wind
The strong downslope gusts that funnel off the Twelve Apostles put real load on mounting hardware. We use wind-rated racking sized for Camps Bay’s specific exposure, from beachfront apartments on Victoria Road to homes higher up the slope.
Installing On Cliffside & Architecturally Complex Homes
Camps Bay’s larger, architecturally ambitious homes often mean more complex systems and access that needs careful planning from the outset. We scope that as part of the site visit, not as a surprise on installation day.

We Don't Just Install — We Maintain
At Thermo Group, our relationship with our Camps Bay clients doesn’t end when the solar installation is complete.
We offer ongoing maintenance and servicing for Camps Bay solar systems, helping ensure equipment keeps operating safely and efficiently despite the mountain’s downslope wind and Atlantic salt air. Our team can assist with inspections, fault finding, inverter issues, battery systems, electrical connections and general system maintenance.
Regular maintenance can also help identify potential problems before they become expensive failures.
SSEG & City of Cape Town Registration
Installing a solar system is only part of the process. Where required, your system must also be properly documented and registered with the City of Cape Town.
Thermo Group can assist clients with the SSEG application and registration process, helping ensure that the required documentation, electrical compliance requirements and system information are correctly dealt with.
Our goal is to make the process as straightforward as possible for the property owner.

Fill in your details below and our team will contact you to discuss your solar installation or maintenance needs in Camps Bay.
How much does solar installation cost in Camps Bay?
It depends on your household’s usage and system size — a small backup system for essentials during load shedding costs far less than a full system covering your whole home. We assess your usage and roof before quoting, so you get an accurate price rather than a generic estimate.
How long does a solar installation take in Camps Bay?
Most residential installations take 1 to 3 days on site, depending on system size and roof complexity, plus the time needed for approvals. We’ll give you a clear timeline once we’ve assessed your property.
Does it matter how high up the slope my Camps Bay home is?
Yes. Properties higher up the slope or closer to the water face stronger wind loading and salt air, which affects the mounting hardware and panel specification we recommend for a durable installation.
Will solar keep my home running during load shedding?
Yes. A correctly installed and configured solar and battery system will keep your essential circuits running during load shedding, and we handle the City of Cape Town’s SSEG registration and Notice of Completion as part of every installation.
Do you also handle compliance certificates and ongoing maintenance for the system?
Yes. We issue the Solar Certificate of Compliance your installation needs, and we offer ongoing maintenance and fault-finding to keep it performing well for years — whether we installed it or another company did.
